Net financing cash inflows were $347 million in the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $85 million in the 2024 period. The $262 million increase in cash inflows is due primarily to an increase of $100 million in net proceeds from vehicle debt largely resulting from the issuance of the HVF III Series 2025-1 and 2025-2 Notes in March 2025. Cash flows from financing activities were also impacted by a $175 million increase in net proceeds from non-vehicle debt resulting in part from higher outstanding draws on the First Lien RCF in the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024.

Current wording

Net financing cash inflows were $933 million in the first half of 2025 compared to $1.7 billion in the 2024 period. The $731 million decrease in cash inflows is due primarily to a $953 million decrease in net proceeds from non-vehicle debt resulting from fewer issuances of non-vehicle debt in the first half of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. Cash flows from financing activities were also impacted by an increase of $222 million in net proceeds from vehicle debt largely resulting from the issuances of HVF III Series 2025 Notes in the first half of 2025.
